Excellent service from local tourism counter. I recommend going early as it was busy when we were leaving. Well worth it. The free shuttle was informative and friendly and happy to drop people off on the way back to base.

We visited Capilano after our cruise ended. It was very crowded the day we visited. I'm not sure if it was crowded because several cruise ships were in port, or because it was a Friday, or maybe it's always that crowded. After twelve days of taking nature expeditions in small groups, it was a shock to the system. It was also raining on and off that morning. Capilano is a fascinating place to visit. I think I would have enjoyed it more on a less crowded day. I liked being able to walk through different levels of a rain forest.

This was a good shore excursion although it was not as intense a hiking as I expected or wanted. It was more of a stroll with a lot of stopping. The drive through and stop in Stanley Park was very interesting. The stop at the Lynn suspension bridge was superfluous and could have been skipped. The time in Capilano Canyon gave a good up close look at a salmon hatchery, dam and spillway, and a nice stroll in the rain forest. The guide was informative at every venue.

Capilano Suspension Bridge is a must do. Try to go on a day with good weather. There's the bridge, the tree walking (very cool), the boardwalk (relaxing), and the cliff walk (neat if you aren't afraid of heights).

We did not go into the park, as we had no idea it was so expensive, $40 each. We took the free bus ride from Canada Place to the Capilano. It was great to be able to go over the Lion's Gate Bridge, that our cruise ship had just come under.

Took a taxi to get there before the free bus loads arrived. Well worth the money. We had the place to ourselves for about 1 hour. Especially walking across the suspension bridge. There was a long line to just get on the bridge as we were leaving. Start at the back and work forward. We did have a wait at the cliffwalk but you can loop around and the second time was less crowded. A must see.
